'T FIE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS reach maturity at the end of the freshman year, in the opinion of Professor Worley of the engineering college. After that, he feels, it is essential that they should be treated as re- sponsible persons. Many of the remaining vestiges of antiquated educational systems are based on a philosophy far different from that. University administrations undoubtedly feel deeply their responsibility over the students under their guidance. Few stop to think, however, that extreme paternalism is apt to be more of an injury than a favor. A true 'sense of responsibility in the student ought to be the outgrowth of a gradual training. It is not so apt to result from suddenly being pushed off the deep end of commencement.

Flash: Clear All Wires! Te the Editor: I realize that filling a six-page campus daily is a hard job and I'm afraid that others realize it too. One has just to look at your Page 5 where the fact that Betty Aigler wore something or other to match a gray scarf is loudly proclaimed. That stuff of this type is included in The Daily I am greatly surprised. The fact that big town papers indulge in such sartorial rubbish-dealing is no reason for a supposedly serious publication to emu- late them. With the world scampering gaily to- ward an uncertain fate, the colors of new shoe laces sort of lose their appeal, except of course, for those children who insist on remaining with us, to exhibit their pettyness and shallow minds. -Arthur Miller. NOTE: We agree completely that Miss So- 'n-So's stockings are of utter insignificance when compared to the tremours of a very painful world. The fact remains, however, that a college daily is in precisely the same position as a city daily: it must make a defi- nite appeal to all sections of its reading public, the dull as well as the brilliant, the shallow as well as the learned. The truth, Mr. Miller, is that quite as large - and certainly far more audible - a group reads Page 5 as reads Page 4. Miss So-'n-So's shoe laces must continue to be duly reported as long as Miss So-'n-So and her friends remain so breathlessly inter- ested in them. - The Editors. Double Entendre To the Editor: Concerning an article on the front page of Wednesday's Daily, confusion may arise because the word "Orientation" is being used on the cam- pus with at least two meanings. Your report shows that this fall's experiment in extended orientation of entering women conducted by upperclass women has met with the approval it deserves. Professor Hussey is chairman of. a faculty com- mittee which is studying all the activities of the short and intensive all-freshman orientation pe- riod. The name "week" has been dropped because, while it spoils a week, it lasts barely a hundred hours. Until this committee has finished its study you are not in a position to say that "faculty report approves week of orientation." Incidentally, if you score the faculty too se- verely for lack of interest you may make it more than usually difficult for those who must invite faculty members to serve on next year's board of advisors. -Norman Anning, Faculty Advisor to Group 64. As Others See It By BUD BERNARD Collegiate observings from here and there- Reports have it that 30 freshmen were promised the class presidency in election deals at the University of Florida - Men outnumber girls five to one at the University of Alabama - At the University of the Philippines before a student may make a speech he has to have his proposed speech censored and O.K.'d by the university - Casey Stengel, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, failed to make the baseali team at the University of Wisconsin. The first intercollegiate baseball game was played in 1859 between Amherst and Williams. The Amherst team won 66 to 32 - The first foot- ball game was played in 1869 between Princeton anr Rutgers, Rutgers winning six touchdowns to four. Each team had 25 men.- The five most heavily endowed universities in the country are Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, and the Uni- versity of Rochester. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all freshmen women at the University of Pittsburgh can be bought for ten cents.- The University of North Carolina is the oldest state university in the country - Columbia 'University is the country's only national university - Free dancing lessons are offered to freshmen at Loyola University - Freshmen at Roanoke College may belong to the Goldfish Club if they swallow one live goldfish - A professor at the University of Pennsylvania has mastered 140 languages believed to be all the va- rieties known to the world - A burlesque beauty parade is held once a year at Oregon University in which men are the participants. University of Denver freshmen are ejected from football and basketball games if they are discovered bringing dates.- Six students at the University of Delaware were suspended after attending classes in bathing suits - Students who fail in a subject at the University of Washington are not permitted to use the library. One of the duties of the first professor at the University of Rochester was to chase cows off the campus - Seventy-five per cent of the inmates of the Minnesota State Prison enrolled in university correspondence courses received grades of A or B - Two-thirds of the students at the University of Paris are Americans. A survey in an eastern university showed that 60 per cent of the students sleep through at least three hours of classes each week. 4* * * A very descriptive statement found in the Mar- shall College publication: Symptoms of the dis- ease (love) are loss of appetite, hot flashes, delir- ium, rolling of the eyes and wiggling of the ears.

TAUB One Silver Liniog,*. . HE HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT FACT that three of the four artists on this season's Choral Union series have performed before capacity audiences in Hill Auditorium is complimentary to both Dr. Charles A. Sink and t6 many University students. It may be safely stated that the majority of these four audiences has been composed of stu- dents, a condition which has not always been in evidence, either at Choral Union concerts or May Festivals. This seems unmistakably to point to the fact that students as well as others are tending to show a more widespread appreciation toward the artistic, as opposed to the more mundane, events of a collegiate existence. Coming at a time when critics are daily pointing in the most acrid of terms to the decadence of modern education and the de- terioration of the college student's character, this tendency is perhaps one ray of hope. The Choral Union series is one of the very few University enterprises which is run on a strictly non-profit basis. Its primary purpose is to acquaint students with fine music, presented by artists who stand at the acme of the musical profession. By this method, Dr. Sink believes that students will in time become the cultural leaders in the commu- nities where they settle after they leave the Uni- versity. This is an idea well-founded and sensible and to Dr. Sink is due much of the credit for the success of these concerts. THE DEADLINE Afor By KIRKE SIMPSON EXACTLY why Attorney-General Homer S. Cum- mings elected to revert to an old custom and appear in person for the government when the Supreme Court takes up the gold clause cancella- tion matter in January is not of record. The offi- cial outline of his duties declares it to be the function of the attorney-general to make such per- sonal appearances "in cases of exceptional gravity and importance." Mr. Cummings' recent predeces- sors have honored that more in the breech than the observance, however. There can be no question of the exceptional grav- ity and importance of the issue. Anything that in- volves 100 billion dollars would justify that de- scription. If the government's formally-presented view of what is involved in its effort to expedite a final decision by the highest court on constitution- ality of the Congressional enactment striking the gold repayment clause out of all public and private loan transactions is accepted, it might be 200 billions. yET ONLY the preliminary moves of the legal battle will be staged Jan. 8. The government has asked the court to consolidate four actions in the lower courts challenging the right of Congress to wipe out retroactively a contractural relation written into bonds and other securities. The quar- tet of cases cover about all phases of that chal- lenge. Lumped together, the government contends, they would represent a complete and final adjud- ication of the issue. It is the desirability of that procedure ratherI than the constitutional question itself that Mr.' Cummings has undertaken to present personally to the court. Whether that means he would also make the constitutional argument if the government's request is granted is still to be disclosed. That cancellation of the gold clause uitimately will be sustained, no official appears in doubt. If there were any serious doubt in administration circles, the whole course of New Deal monetary policy necessarily must have been quite different. An adverse holding by the high court would topple the whole New Deal apple cart. The government petition mades no secret of that. It pictures whole- sale private, corporate and government insolvency if the demand of gold clause bondholders for pay- ment of interest and principal in the equivalent of $35 gold is upheld.

Huey P. Long for his censorship of the Louisiana State paper and for his other ob- noxious habits has brought the expected and the, unexpected variety. The Big Ten editors, of course, are fully awareI that they have done a brilliant thing by cham- pioning freedom of the press, a cause which hardly lacked for champions - either in or out of Louis- iana. They have heaped such abuse on the head of poor Huey, that no longer can anyone take him for anything better than an untouchable. Senator Long himself took the trouble to send a 900-word answer prepaid to an attack of gen- The Kingfish Crawfishes HUEY LONG'S skin is thick, but it can be pierced. The college editors of the Western Conference have pierced it. The resolution adopted at their association meeting, condemning Long for his censorship of the students' newspaper, the Reveille, at Louisiana State University, and his "demagogic -meddling in matters purely educa- tional," has brought forth an apologetic denial. Long's statement that he had never censored, or attempted to censor, any university pubication will be appraised for what it is worth in the light of the reported facts. Some of the glaring facts, as reported, are: that an edition of the paper containing a letter criticizing Long was held up until the letter was removed; that the editorial management of the paper was instructed, first, to publish nothing objectionable to Senator Long, and, second, to submit to faculty censorship, on receipt of which notice the editor resigned. But the saddest of all the facts in the whole lamentable situation is the indignity visited upon the university by Long, in which the university officers and student body acquiesced.
